... One minor point though: in English, the word "psychokinesis" normally refers to the idea of being able to directly move any kind of matter with your mind, i.e. like magic or like a superhero (e.g. making a cup on a table move with your mind). People who already know a little bit about Taiji will understand that you're referring to a special kind of learned (trained) connection between the mind and the body, between the intention to move and the way the body moves, but the word could be misleading to the outside observer - they might think that you're proposing some kind of magic or "psi" power!

Please understand this kind of errors please.
But we will try to do our best!

Anyway, note that it is Chen Tai Chi, so there's that. As I said elsewhere, with (Yang) Tai Chi, you should practice it slow until you know why you do it slow, then you will do it slower, but of course you don't always and only practice it slow. You need to understand why you should practice it slow and why you should practice it fast.

You want to coordinate your:
- hand with your foot, elbow with your knee, shoulder with your hip.
- breath with your move.
After you can do that, you want to train fast exhale so your body can move in the maximum speed with maximum power.
